Learn more about List of countries by population density

List of countries and dependencies by population density in inhabitants/km². The list includes de facto sovereign states and dependent territories that are recognized by the United Nations. The figures in the following table are based on areas including inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers). Data is as of July 2005 and is taken from the United Nations World Populations Prospects Report (2004 revision).

Note that figures are simply estimates of population divided by total surface area and should not be considered either as reflecting density in the urban sense or as indicative of the ability of a territory’s land to support human habitation. Names of dependent territories as well as recognized states with no or limited control over their territory are shown in italics.
